here's how i see direction by the cribs, this is my first tab, 
a lot of the credit for this goes to a guy called stu, infact the 
only bit i am tabbing is the outro and a bit that comes up every so 
often that he missed out

intro
e-----------------------------------------|
b-----------------------------------------|
g-----------------------------------------|
d-----------------------------------------|
a--5--5----5----5----5--5-------5----5----|
E-2--2--2-2--2-2--2-3--3-----3-3--3-3--3--|

i like to slide up to 
A|--5--5----5---5-5-|
E|-5--5--5-5--5-5-5-|

just before the verse, that's not how it is in the song though.

verse is these two chords

 D    A7
e-2---0---|
b-3---2---|
g-2---0---| the rhythm here is pretty easy
d-----2---|
a---------|
e---------|

the "it's called direction" parts are

e-------------------------|
b-------------------------|
g-------------------------|
d-9*---11*----9*----7*----|
a-------------------------|
e-------------------------|

*= very quick picking (tremelo)

the song goes through this for a while, listen to it, and you'll hear what to play and where
then the bit "find you face down...." is


D    A7
e-2---0---|
b-3---2---|
g-2---0---| 
d-----2---| play these fast i think 8 times to each bar (2 bars of each)
a---------|
e---------|

you play this twice through, but to the end of the second time you play

e|---------17----15-----14--|
B|--/15-15----15-----15-----|
G|--------------------------|
D|--------------------------|
A|--------------------------|
E|--------------------------|

again listen for the changes, then eventually the fun bit comes, which is the outtro

e|------------14-----12-----11------12-----14----15-----14----|
B|-15--15--15----15------15-----15-----15-----15-----15----15-|
G|------------------------------------------------------------|
D|------------------------------------------------------------|
A|------------------------------------------------------------|

e|----------17------19------15------17------19-----15-----14----|
B|--14--14------14------14------14------14------14----14-----14-|
G|--------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------------|

e|------------14-----12-----11------12-----14----15-----14----|
B|-15--15--15----15------15-----15-----15-----15-----15----15-|
G|------------------------------------------------------------|
D|------------------------------------------------------------|
A|------------------------------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------------------------|

e|---------15----------15------15------------17------15---12|
B|-12--12------12--12------12-----12/15--15------15---------|
G|----------------------------------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------------------------------|
A|----------------------------------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------------------------|

The Outro is played twice, one of them while there is still singing.

just watch for the changes and have fun
